Problem:
Eclipse Juno crash when mouse hover on class or variable.

Env:
openSUSE 12.3
eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Solution:
For a workaround add the following to the end of your eclipse.ini
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

It's copied from the referenced page, there's more detailed information.
